Chapter 243 Asking for Advice

Gao Hu met Zhao Zhen and his party, greeted him with courtesy, and greeted him in the hall. He said happily: "Brother-in-law, I heard Qingwan say that you fought in the fantasy world, but you won?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Thank you for your concern, brother. Everything is fine in the fantasy world. We still need to clean up the beginning and end. But I came here this time to ask my brother for advice."

"What's the matter? I have to make a trip. Just ask my servants to send a message."

Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, do you know Anling Dui?"

Gao Hu said: "Brother, how do you know?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Last time I came back for this transaction, Song Shiqin, the head of Song Township, told me that he wanted to invite me to Anling Qudui. This afternoon, he sent a letter to me and wanted to discuss it in detail. Because I didn't know how powerful it was, this I just came here to ask my brother."

Gao Hu listened, nodded, and told Zhao Zhen everything he knew. Most of it was the same as what Ji Qingwan said, but in much more detail.

Every year during the Qingming Festival, mist will appear in Anlingdui, from which all kinds of ghosts and monsters will appear, mainly zombies, tomb beasts and ghosts.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, I wonder if Song Shiqin asked my brother for help?"

Gao Hu shook his head and said: "Brother, I don't have Taoist priests, monks, nuns or other outsiders here, so I was not invited."

Zhao Zhen said: "Isn't it said that a strong man with strong blood can handle it?"

Gao Hu said: "Although this is the case, it's just that these people can only exert six or seven points of their tenth energy. It is not as useful as the awe-inspiring energy cultivated by reading the books of sages. If brothers want to go, they can work as monks or Taoist priests." Choose first, and then prepare some magic weapons. If you don't have any, prepare more yang things such as glutinous rice, black dog blood, cockscomb blood, etc. These can restrain ghosts and evil spirits."

"The Anling Dui is not big, about a hundred feet long from north to south, and about seventy feet long from east to west. Now the Song family has built a two-foot-high wall, leaving only the west and south gates to prevent ordinary farmers from entering by mistake. Can enter There won’t be too many people in the pile, depending on the number of tombs opened, so you have to be prepared.”

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Brother, since he has built a wall there, zombies and other ghosts can't break out, so why should he invite outsiders?"

Gao Hu said: "Who said ghosts can't break out. If nothing else, ghosts can easily pass through walls. Inviting foreign aid is also a last resort. Every tomb has its owner. Only by removing the owner of the tomb can the fog dissipate and there will be no more ghosts rushing out. This is what the Song family concluded after suffering a huge loss."

After talking about this matter, Gao Hu chatted with Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian about their daily life, and asked them not to follow.

Ji Minghan said: "Brother, my two sisters have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and their energy and blood are not weaker than those of men. Why can't we go?"

Gao Hu said: "It doesn't mean that strong qi and blood are enough. There are many ladies who go to Anlinggudu, but later I found out that too much qi and blood are consumed. After coming out of the mist, most of the ladies will be depressed for a period of time. Therefore, no Let you two go together."

Ji Minghan pulled out a wooden sword from her waist, handed it to Gao Hu, and said, "Brother, have you forgotten? On the same day we got engaged, my husband gave each of us a sapodilla dagger. This is a second-level treasure, peach wood." Used as a handle, it can kill ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.”

Gao Hu said: "This is enough to protect yourself."

The four of them chatted for a long time. Zhao Zhen saw that it was late and wanted to leave. Gao Hu tried to persuade him to stay, but when he couldn't persuade him, he had to send Zhao Zhen out of the village gate.

The group of people rode back to the house.

As soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, Su Dong came in and said, "Master, I have an invitation from Sanlang Lu up front."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen got up and went to Lu Zhuocheng's store.

Pushing the door open, he saw Lu Zhuocheng drinking tea with someone. He was tall, with a thin face and bright eyes. Lu Zhuocheng made an introduction, saw the ceremony, and sat down again.

Lu Zhuocheng said: "Zhao Erlang, is [Zhuan Tianliuyan] ready? The pearl rice has been shipped here outside Zhang Yuan. The two of us came over first to make it clear. The pearl rice is fifty dan, and the rice is calculated as 60% of the rice. Nine. Thirteen stones. But you have to pay for it, how about it?”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Mr. Zhang will wait a moment while I go get some willow sprouts and ask Mr. Zhang to take a look at them." After that, Zhao Zhen got up and went to the backyard to get five pieces of willow sprouts and handed them to Lu Zhuocheng.

Lu Zhuocheng took it, put it on the table, and counted it in front of the two people. The number was correct. Lu Zhuocheng said to Zhang Yuanwai: "Yuanwai, how are you?"

Seeing the physical enhancement spiritual object right in front of him, Zhang Yuanwai, who had a serious look on his face, couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay. Shopkeeper Lu really has a family background, so he can find a suitable spiritual object in such a short time."

After saying hello, an accompanying banker came in from outside. Zhang Yuanwai said: "Da Lang, you ride a horse to meet the convoy and lead the convoy over."

The banker responded and turned away.

Seeing that the business was done, Lu Zhuocheng stepped forward to replenish the water.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Zhang Yuanwai, I wonder if I can buy pearl rice from you in the future?"

Zhang Yuanwai hesitated and said: "I don't know how much Zhao Lizheng wants. My place can only produce less than 100-stone pearl rice in a year, and the rest is just first-level crops such as golden wheat and crystal rice. These grains have fixed places, and It’s not easy to change it at will. The pearl rice I’m trading is my accumulated output for two years, and I borrowed some from others, so I can’t supply such a large amount to Zhao Lizheng.”

Zhao Zhen even said it was a pity.

Seemingly worried that Zhao Zhen would renege on the deal, Zhang Yuanwai said: "I heard from Shopkeeper Lu that Zhao Lizheng also planted many fields. This time he asked for rice again, and he also wanted to plant pearl rice. Although I can't sell rice to Zhao Lizheng here, I have some The experience can be shared with Zhao Lizheng.”

Zhao Zhen quickly waved his hand and said, "Zhang Yuanwai, you don't have to be like this. How can I get your unique secret book?"

"Zhao Lizheng, do you have any unique secrets? Everyone who has planted pearl rice knows this. Most of this rice can only be grown in spiritual fields. If you use fertile fields, you need to mix snail and clam shell powder into it. After planting one crop, it will take three years. What I said This method was discovered by farmers in Goucunji. It is worthless. Goucunji has a living spring, which can be used to irrigate the land all year round. After two years of rest, pearl rice can be planted. The reason why Goucun produces more pearl rice than other villages and towns is that this method has been spread throughout the town for a long time. Now the rice fields growing pearl rice in the town are distributed around the spring. "

"My family happens to have a hundred acres of farmland next to it, so we can have so much pearl rice. Other towns also have methods to shorten the life span, such as burying rice straw in the ground, but it costs a lot. One acre of rice straw is It’s worth four to five hundred cents, and it’s almost consistent in two years. Although the one-year interval is reduced, it won’t make much more.”

Zhao Zhen listened and thanked Zhang Yuanwai. After all, if Zhang Yuanwai didn't tell him, he didn't know how long it would take him to figure it out.
